New games of the week

Sunless Sea
Failbetter's award-winning PC game is now on iOS. Take control of your steamship and set sail in the Sunless Sea.
Set in the Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London, and you'll need to assemble a crew to help you discover the wonders that wait for you in out in the water. Watch out, the darkness not only hides dangerous creatures but also incurs madness and loneliness.
Praise for it's depth and compelling storytelling, Sunless Sea is a dark-humored adventure that allows you to choose what happens to you and your crew at every turn. Will you betray your crew, sell your soul to a Devil, or marry your sweetheart? Only time will tell.

Updates of the week
Games are constantly being updated with new features, bug fixes, and gameplay tweaks. Here are the notable updates for this week.
Super Mario Run: Version 2.0 hit the App Store, and there are a few significant changes to note. There are now four new playable characters: Blue Yoshi, Purple Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, and Red Yoshi, and they can help you attract Toads in Toad Rally Mode that are the same color as they are, making it easier to unlock other characters. Plus, Toad Rally tickets are easier to find in the bonus houses, and you can turn on Easy Mode with the tap of a button at the beginning of any level in World Tour Mode.
See all the changes for yourself, by visiting the App Store!
Ticket to Earth: If you have been enjoying the strategy-RPG as much as I have, you'll be happy to know that the bug they have fixed the issue with the game crashing after your screen goes to sleep. Now you don't have to worry about walking away from your phone while you're playing.
To see a full list of updates to Ticket to Earth, visit the App Store.
Luke's game of the week.
There are so many games in the App Store, and I'm on a quest to play them all, which means I'm always playing a different game each week. Whether it's brand new or a classic game I'll let you know what has my attention!
Shardlight
$4.99 - Download Now
Shardlight takes a post-apocalyptic premise you've seen a million times in countless works of fiction and sucks you into a well-developed world populated with genuine characters.
The plot has plenty of twists and turns that will keep you second guessing yourself throughout the game. The rebellion against the new world order seems just as shady and sinister as the Aristocrats themselves, and it's impossible to know who to trust. It's been a long time since I was this invested in a story.
The design is solid, and although the backgrounds occasionally feel cluttered, they do an excellent job of setting the tone of the game. Plus, the voice acting is an excellent addition to an already impressive script, making this game just as fun to listen to as it is to read.
